Since i was accused of censoring and “shadow banning” in a recent thread, thought I’d post this just so nobody gets it twisted. I assume it was the dude’s shitty internet that caused his “post delay.” I never even knew he posted. It was a dumbass opinion, dogging the product without having been in the same room with it gearslutz style, but even that won’t get you banned here. But when you talk shit about your free membership, that WILL get you banned. I’ve banned 33 people in 10 years. Half of them were bots. So - here you go. Here’s the list. Add this last dude in there too. i.postimg.cc/bYSY2rLf/552501-ED-2-CCB-47-D4-B329-A8-E770117643.jpg |

That said it’s your party, who stays who goes is completely up to you. |

But 2busdriver was a good username, tho… Think I remember him having some good posts…but it’s just absolutely my pet peeve when somebody pulls the old “this place is shitty, I’m out of here.” Don’t let the door hit you in your ass then. |

See this thread is just another attempt by the owner to get more money from us.
Okay okay okay i submit.
Take my money .
Heres another $50
Aus $50which probably equals about usd$17.15
But seriously this site has enough real world user experiences that i no longer have to subscribe to paid magazines for the same knowledge ....
Plus you get to meet, connect and talk to real people from this forum online and offline.
There are some really cool, genuine people here that i have gotten to know.
Thanks guys.

At least two of those were various forms of "George Toledo," so your ultimate banned number is even lower than you think, Johnkenn |

The question is if Kanye showed up got political and offered to buy the place do you ban him? How much buy the place? Would we have to call him Ye?

It's not a right, but a privilege to participate in this forum. There's no paywall. We're the beneficiaries of the work and attention you give to maintaining this, and that deserves an attitude of gratitude. (And some voluntary funding, as hadaja so rightly references.) That also means you call the shots, and there's no inherent "rights" for the entitled to have a platform to spew vitriole or insult the Admin. "Go pound sand" comes to mind.
Thanks, John! Like hadaja implies, this site has expanded my horizons beyond just gear. Although the gear expertise here is second-to-none.

I know...I thought the same thing. Actually, he's not banned. His profile name is TonycampHD or something. This one doesn't even exist, but it shows up there. |

John, you're the best John Kennedy I've ever known. Way better than that "other guy".
(Humor is so lost in text, isn't it?)
Anyway, @johnkenn, you're a great host / founder of the feast, and as so many have said – I am grateful to have this place to hang, learn, and create some valuable friendships. RGO is important, and especially in this season (since 2020) of so much isolation and discord.
